Arkady Leytush

Music Director-World Peace Sinfonietta

One of World’s most gifted conductors, Leytush
has directed orchestras in Europe and the United States
to great acclaim. Critics as have described him as
“a conductor in the Grand Russian Tradition” and his
dynamic interpretations have made him an audience
favorite. Leytush’s artistry is known throughout the
former Soviet Union, but it was not until 1994 that he
gained recognition in the United States when he, on
a week’s notice, made a stunning debut with the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra, replacing Yuri Temirkanov.
